1
Calling, calling
2
Father wanted to run away
3
With the circus as a kid
4
Or a teen escape to the priestly way
5
And in a way he almost did
6
Twelve children 'round the supper table
7
Every blessed one is his
8
Chanting ten turns 'round the rosary
9
The holy circus that it is.
10
And me, I'm looking on with elephant's memory
11
At that old elephant in the living room
12
You know the one we try not to see
13
The one who aint gonna be leaving too soon
14
He's calling, he's calling.
15
Mother asked me what I'm grateful for
16
We make up something one by one
17
Father says forgive us sinners lord
18
Staring right at me when he's done
19
Baby sees the elephant like she sees the steam rising off her plate
20
But soon enough she'll fall in line
21
And finally learn to look away
22
I think he's calling, he's calling
23
As the secrecy's keeping the lock on the gate
24
Guarding us in our safe place
25
Watching and waiting for someone to step out of line
26
Enforcing with anti-grace
27
All of you keepers and wanna be sleepers
28
Wake up there's a message so clear
29
I saw the elephant and I looked him in the eye
30
And he begged me not to tell you he's here
31
But he's here. He's here
32
And he's calling, he's calling.
